      I had a couple big patches of milkweed near the south end of the property. This morning I went out and took it all down. A couple of quick burning fires took care of that. Just for giggles, I decided to mow the taller grass and other weeds.
      With the mower deck at the highest setting, I mowed. I was smiling the whole time for some reason. My wife said I looked weirder than usual.
      BUT, I can now say I have mowed in December. Who says retirement doesn't have its thrills? I think I hear a celebratory beer calling my name.
   
      I also learned that my mower has an automatic shut off feature. Just as I finished mowing, the engine stopped. It must be a safety feature. When the mower runs out of gas, the mower shuts off. Is that awesome, or what?
I used to be cute and adorable. Then, I had my first birthday. Been downhill ever since.

I'd say that was a perfect pour - Garage Logic style!   :happy1:

An automatic shut-off on a lawnmower when it runs out of fuel? In the immortal words of Homer Simpson, is there anything they can't do?

I bet you paid extra for that feature!!     Who is to think we would be mowing in Dec.  It has been raining most of the day and I think my grass is turning green.  This is nuts!

Was mist on the way to the Falls.  Just a nice spring day after that.  About 36 and nice with not a lot of wind.  Looked like windy type of clouds south of us though.

      I cleared another small area of trees and brush last week. If the weather cooperates, I may mow it just so I can say I mowed in January.
